The SI unit of electric charge is
A. Volt
B. Coulomb
C. Ohm
D. Ampere

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Coulomb (C) is SI unit of charge. Ampere is unit of current (C/s). Volt is potential difference, ohm is resistance. One coulomb is charge transported by 1 A current in 1 s.

The fundamental principle utilized in an optical endoscope, which allows doctors to examine the inside of the human body, is:
A. Diffraction of light
B. Scattering of light
C. Total internal reflection of light
D. Polarization of light

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Endoscopes consist of bundles of flexible optical fibers. Light introduced at one end is trapped inside the fiber core because it repeatedly strikes the boundary at an angle greater than the critical angle. This Total Internal Reflection allows light and visual images to be transmitted through complex, curving paths inside the body.

Question #3 Report Error
The boiling point of water at high altitude is lower because
A. Atmospheric pressure is higher
B. Atmospheric pressure is lower
C. Temperature is lower
D. Gravity is less

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Boiling occurs when vapour pressure equals atmospheric pressure. At high altitude, atmospheric pressure is lower, so water boils at lower temperature. Pressure cooker increases pressure to raise boiling point for faster cooking.
